That is not too unusual for an Eaton 1100.  My 418-C has the same thing, takes about thirty seconds in the summer and over a minute in the winter.

I have 4 tractors with the Eaton 1100    When the temp is low, one takes 10 minutes to lift and the other three lift in 1 minute.   All four tractors work fine.

 

I have seen a bulletin from WH stating to prevent damage,  the tractors with the Eaton 1100 should be warmed up for 10 minutes before use.

The fluid just needs time to warm up! I have a 520 and it just needs time to warm!

I use Mobil-1 10-30 synthetic in the two 520-H's that I have left.Hydraulics work pretty quickly when cold.Stored in unheated,un-insulated pole barn.

Trade it in on a  unit with a Sundstrand  Their lifts work immediately no matter what the weather. :P

 

Seriously,  I retired the 418A from winter duty got tried of her filling the shop with exhaust fumes waiting for her to decide to lift the blower so I could move her outside.  The Charger/electros pick it up immediately so i can pull the out side to warm up.
